		<h2>Tips for Blogging With Special Populations:</h2>
			
			<p>1.Make Blogging another way to submit writing assignments.</p>
			<p>2.Develop culturally relevant topics or have the kids write about topics that interest them.</p>
			<p>3.Engage Parents in the Blog by getting permission and including them in the training.</p>
			<p>4.Using a site like <em>Edublogs or Blogspot</em> can be challenging, but it creates a real audience for their blogs.</p>
			<p>5.Blogs can give all students an opportunity to engage in 21st century technology—by using MS Word, PowerPoint, and embedding photos, audio, and video.</p>
			<p>6.Using a word processor can assist all students with editing and revising their work, gives them the opportunity to focus on the content first and then editing.</p>
			<p>7.Using free voice recognition software can make blogging accessible to special needs students with visual impairments or other disabilities that limit range of motion or ability to type.</p>
